The Granary

"Visable damp on the bathroom wall by the shower and a very strong smell of damp in the downstairs area including bedrooms. The owner tried to disguise the smell with air fresheners and by leaving the windows open but the smell of damp was still immediately apparent on entry. Had we been staying longer than 2 nights and not arrived so late in the evening on the first night we would have left. It was a real shame because everything else about the property and surrounding area was beautiful, but...

Top Grizedale Forest Hotel Reviews

Lindeth Howe Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was amazing with large, clean rooms and beautiful, large grounds with amazing flowers ponds and trees. The breakfast was amazing. The place has lots of history as Beatrix Potter lived there. There was plenty of parking and it is in a great location, near Windermere."

Macdonald Old England Hotel & Spa

4/10 Poor

"We booked this trip and paid good money for a room with a balcony. On arrival we was told that the hotel car park was more then likely full due to the weather even though we didn't need to pre-book, not the best start. The que on reception was also extremely busy and only 1 member of staff on. We asked to reserve a table in the restaurant and was told it was full due to the weather (yes it was the best of the year so far) surely the residents should receive priority after booking, we didn't. We used the bar for drinks again this was sometimes a 20-30 minute wait and again poor from the staff with no cohesion as to who was next and waiting first, the communal areas are a little dated and shabby but this could be so much better with some TLC and staff who are much more approachable. If it wasn't for the weather this would have been one of the worst trips of 2026 for us."

The Belsfield Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel is in an ideal position overlooking the lake. Unfortunately our garden view room on the bottom floor was overlooking a large bush so no view of the garden or lake although it did have a patio door with table and chairs on a small shared patio. Unfortunately they are still in the process of renovating the hotel so we had a strong smell of paint in our room as it was just painted 2 days before we arrived which was unpleasant. The biggest disappointment was no spa or swimming facilities yet. We were told it would be at least another 2 years before they are built. All in all lovely hotel, staff were amazing, nice breakfast but we would not be returning because of there being no spa facilities."

Low Wood Bay Resort & Spa

6/10 Okay

"We were returning customers to Low wood bay @ the winander club. We were slightly disappointed to see that spa access was no longer included in Winander rooms but it is a beautiful spa, so we paid the extra £140. We were disappointed to find out if you wanted to borrow some slippers for the spa, they were also chargeable now. And on check out I was very shocked to see they were also now charging £12 per day to park your car if you hadn’t booked directly with them. I don’t think I’ve ever stayed at a hotel that has charged you to use their car park, particularly after spending over £1000 on our stay. We left feeling disappointed and will chose to stay at other hotels in the lakes going forward now."

The Hive at Poppi Red

8/10 Good

"Clean small room. Had everything you needed. Pass code to get into each room which was better than a key. Breakfast was great. Location is great. Have to use the back entrance down al alleyway after 9pm. Local car park is £9 for 24 hours so take this into consideration. Only issues we had was the mattress was rock solid. Both woke up multiple times and was in pain the following morning. & the shower would not stop dripping after being turned off fully which kept us awake a lot too. "
